Haven't been here in such a loooong time..... how is everyone doing?

[pidjones]

I'm wishing I had a new tattoo, but out of ideas. Doing great, otherwise!

Okay so it's been a while since have been here. Wanted to share this pic of tattoo I got done in 2019, pic is of the tattoo when it was done, fresh, haven't got around to taking a healed pic yet. 'Cause it's kinda difficult to do by myself lol Really must get around to sorting out a healed pic.

The Dark Wanderer from Diablo tattooed on the back of my right thigh, and back of knee, and merging with existing work. Tattooed by Tommygunn in Belfast City Skinworks in Belfast. 

Pics show fresh pic (sorry, it's only one I have, it looks amazing healed). And reference pic. I fell asleep getting this done, was done in one session.

Finally got around to taking a healed pic of above tattoo. Better late than never eh? lol

Sorry its a bad picture, and we were not done with the session yet but i started added to my Ninja Turtles piece on my upper arm. Im toying with the idea of turning this arm into a 90s cartoons sleeve.

Pleased to report I was able to retire this past fall . . and that meant feeling comfortable about FINALLY getting my forearms done. Fully healed now so here they are:

Please stop advertising your shitty tattoo stickers. NOBODY here wants them. This is a forum for tattoo enthusiasts, not posers.

Go away. We have actual tattoos here, not play pretend tattoos. FFS. Talk about the wrong audience. 😆

Finally finished my ribs. 3 hour session last week, I kept looking at the bottle of numbing crème, but held out. My artist offered it a couple of times, but I said I wanted to “earn” it.

I’ll post a pic when it heals.

I have two sessions left and my body suit will be complete. I’ve been chipping away at it for 12 years. I can’t believe it’s almost done.

That'll probably be bitter sweet, on one hand completing a goal like that, and on the other not having new tattoos to look forward to.

Finished up my TMNT piece today. The picture is a little bit before we finished, I forgot to grab a finished shot. Waiting on my artist to send me the video he took.

It has been forever since I have been on this forum! Been super busy with life and remembered this awesome group!

I have just uploaded the last few tattoos I have had- during covid in 2021... I got a thigh piece done- hip to knee. skulls, roses, crow (posted pic in bird gallery) which ended up taking 3 sessions: one for outline which was a 5hr appointment, first lot of colour which was super close to being finished but after 6 hrs my thigh was crazy swollen to the point it was not workable, then final was to finish thorns and the red circle behind the crow; a kraken taking down a ship (posted in nautical gallery)- easy  session with Kyle , and a panther dagger combo (animal gallery) also with Kyle. That was right around when our shops were yo-yoing here between being open and shut down. 

Start of this year  (feb- pic in object gallery) I got a little axe on outer right forearm by the new apprentice- Binger, near the wrist; March a little diamond and strawberry on my birthday (both in object gallery) also Binger, April a swallow on right inner forearm and butterfly on left inner forearm (bird and butterfly galleries respectively) also Binger , then last weekend I got a lucky rabbit's foot (object gallery) on my right inner forearm which sits under my swallow (toward the wrist) and a circus elephant on right inner bicep by Kyle(animal gallery) .

I have two appointments booked for July- as I work in a school, I have booked a day with the apprentice during the school holidays (he did my axe, diamond, strawberry, butterfly and swallow) for 4 more- getting a dragon on the right arm, a trio of roses under the right knee, sad cloud front of ankle on the shin (right) and skull and cross bones on same placement, opposite leg. (hope that makes sense)
End of July I am booked with Dan (did my thigh) who will do a snake/carnation combo on right outer forearm. 

Dan books 3 months in advance and his appointments fill up fast. Kyle is only booking a month at a time, while Binger takes everyone as he can. 

 

I will add pics once these appointments arrive 🙂

now to go back through and see what everyone has been getting while I have been absent from here!

I was a huge Michelangelo fan as a kid! Mum reluctantly gave in to me getting a "boy's toy" when I was 7- a Michelangelo figure with nun-chucks and a working parachute! That toy shit all over Barbie I tell you 😄

Wow , so close to completion! I bet that's a bizarre feeling! Looking forward to the photos!
